The rookie guard has generated at least 39.3 FD points in five of her last six appearances, averaging 22.3 points, 7.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 combined steals-plus-blocks in 31.7 minutes per tilt during that time.<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/jackie-young-571\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jackie Young<\/a>, Aces <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/100LVA.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"LVA\"\/> ($9,400) vs. Liberty\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although she didn&#8217;t offer much in terms of peripheral numbers in her previous appearance, Young is still coming off a 25-point effort.

She finished with 42.8 FD points in the Sky&#8217;s last meeting with the Sun.<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/aja-wilson-481\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A&#8217;ja Wilson<\/a>, Aces <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/100LVA.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"LVA\"\/> ($12,000) vs. Liberty\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wilson is a consistent source of elite production and a viable DFS option against any team. The superstar center has appeared in six consecutive contests, registering between 44.0 and 64.8 DK points in all six of those outings. During that span, she has averaged 27.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 29.8 minutes per tilt.

Over her last five outings, the veteran floor general has averaged 14.8 points, 7.2 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 31.6 minutes per contest.<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/aneesah-morrow-998\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aneesah Morrow<\/a>, Sun <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/100CON.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"CON\"\/> ($7,100) at Sky\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/brittney-griner-394\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brittney Griner<\/a> (knee) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/aaliyah-edwards-914\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aaliyah Edwards<\/a> (knee) remaining sidelined Thursday, Morrow figures to stay in the starting five. The second-year forward has started back-to-back outings, supplying 26.5 and 37.5 DK points. As a member of the first unit this season (eight games), she has averaged 13.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.9 combined steals-plus-blocks and 1.8 assists in 25.1 minutes per game.<\/p>\n<p>WNBA DFS Value Picks<\/p>\n<p>FanDuel<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/leila-lacan-935\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leila Lacan<\/a>, Sun <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/100CON.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"CON\"\/> ($5,900) at Sky\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lacan hasn&#8217;t topped 10 points in any of her last three games, though she&#8217;s still provided at least 23.4 FD points in two of those outings. The second-year point guard has reached that mark in seven of her nine appearances in July, during which she has averaged 13.3 points, 4.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 combined steals-plus-blocks in 30.1 minutes per showing.<\/p>\n<p>DraftKings<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/laura-juskaite-1060\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Laura Juskaite<\/a>, Tempo <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/100TOR.png\" class=\"article__logo\" alt=\"TOR\"\/> ($6,400) vs. Lynx\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Juskaite is a solid cost-effective option, though it&#8217;ll be worth monitoring whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/isabelle-harrison-416\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Isabelle Harrison<\/a> (knee) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/wnba\/player\/nyara-sabally-789\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nyara Sabally<\/a> (ribs) are cleared to play. Still, Juskaite just scored 18 points en route to 24.5 DK points in Tuesday&#8217;s loss to Minnesota, and she&#8217;s reached that mark in three of her last six games. Over that stretch, the 28-year-old forward has averaged 13.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals across 30.5 minutes per game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The author(s) of this article may play in daily fantasy contests including \u2013 but not limited to \u2013 games that they have provided recommendations or advice on in this article.
